What's up Fandom Alliance
King_Chalice Here. This week we are talking one of my all time favorite fandoms, Kamen Rider.
Kamen Rider is a Type of Tokusatsu known as Kaijin or "Mysterious person". If you now Power Rangers you know an american adaptation of a well known Tokusatu series Super Sentai.
The original Kamen Rider was premiered in 1971, yeah it's that old. Running through different Riders, stories, and casts over the years. out of just 32 Main Riders one is bound to catch anyone's interest. Now the Time line of Kamen Rider starts in the showa series with Kamen Rider Ichigo and continues till Kamen Rider J in 1994.

Kamen Rider had a resurgence in the new Millennium with Kamen Rider Kuuga, the first of the heisei series. At this time we are in the last few episodes of one of my New favorite series Kamen Rider Gaim, Fans love these heros, anti-heros, and of course villains, most fans even defending their favorite series with great fervor.

For me at least Kamen Rider was something I have been a fan of for only about six years Thanks to a unnamed Youtuber, and being laid up from having surgery. I started watching the series Kamen Rider Decade, the 10th Rider of the Heisei line,
For Years I have Been fascinated by the many styles and themes that each series brings to the pantheon. No series wholly expresses this than maybe Kamen Rider OOO's The theme of this epic is the collecting of Power set of coins called Core Medals. Each of the main colors (red, yellow, green, blue, grey, and purple) have three copies of each of the three main levels (Level 1; Head, Level 2; Body, and Level 3: Legs). So 9 medals in all, two of the sets only have one of each of these levels. The Black and Gold. this only cause these only showed in the movies.

Given that each Level can be swapped out with any of its counter parts This gives this hero many different combinations. Each a form to be reckoned with but none more powerful than the when three medals of the same colors come together.
I hope I have given you just enough information to spark your sense of intrigue if not confusion. Maybe you will you will find something that suites your Likes. If you want to Know which series and Kamen Riders are my favorite well, That's for a Later Blog. Thanks Guys Have a great week.
Hello Fandom Alliance.
I know I have already made a post today and even though I'm extra uber lazy I still got fire up to do this Post *Girlie Giggles*
I picked a few toys this week and I'm super stoked. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yeah before you say anything about "You said these turtles looked weird - blah blah blah". I still stand by my og statement that they do look odd. I'm still giving them a chance. So I picked up to of my favorite Brothers, Donatello, and Michelangelo.
So impressions of these figures are that Playmates has done an ok job. I see and few faults but I will not call them on them till I get them out of the box.
So as of first impressions go these figures live up to the standards of Playmate Toys. The good sculpts of the toys and the over all color scheme lives up to what I expected (Its not S.I.C. after all.)
Now Donatello being my favorite of the brothers (yet not my favorite mutant turtle). He looks great. but some very necessary paint appliances are missing. hats just me being hyper critical though.
The overall 360 Degree is pleasing. even all the little gadgets, to the various bits of armor. I really like this sculpt.
The amazing bit to me is how it loses little to no Pose-ability. Besides free arm and leg movement its head is on a pivot. Giving more head movement then I had expected. Overall on this figure I give it a 9/10
On to the Next, Michelangelo
Well what can I can I say about this figure. Dam it be grumpy. This figure screams i'm a Hawaiian/California Surfer dude who moonlights as a M.M.A. Fighter. I really didn't think I would like this figure but it has won me over in it's own way. Even though the look is meh. It pulls off exactly what it is suppose to.
As far as being nit picky again. Paint apps. Yet it more then makes up for this with its Wardrobe and accessories, The Nunchuku and Three section staff totally make Mikey stand out. My only Huge gripe is his pose-ability. His arms don't go musch past the mid arm. and his legs are touchy at best.
So all in all I like these figures. I can't wait to get the Turtles Evolution set Featureing Raph, or Leo. Hope you sll enjoyed review I my just Revise it later. till then Remember. Be a fan support your fandom.
